The tool features adjustable legs that allow you to set the desired scale for your project easily. Its precise points ensure that your measurements will be accurate and consistent. If you're an artist searching for a tool to elevate the accuracy of your compositions, the Proportional Divider is the tool for you! Key Features: * Aluminum proportional divider - 7-3/4" long * Solid steel points * Graduated measurements for lines and circles * Includes a carrying case with secure closure * Easy to transport and store Perfect For: * Accurately capturing proportions and perspective * Enlarging or reducing the size of a reference by hand * Drafting, sketching, and drawing * Portraits, landscapes, and still-lifes * Artists, designers, and architects How To Use A Proportional Divider: First, choose the scale of your drawing. This means deciding how much smaller or larger you want your drawing to be. You can do this by loosening the dial and sliding the legs up or down to shrink or enlarge the scale. Once you have the scale set, you can measure any object. If you're trying to enlarge a tree in a reference photo, position the tool so that the smaller end of the X is touching the top and bottom of the tree. Then use the wider opposite end of the divider to mark the tree's proportions on your paper. To reduce the size of a large subject, reverse the process. Use the wide end of the tool to measure your object and the smaller end to make your marks on the paper. Once you have the tick marks in place, connect the dots with a freehand line. You can also hold the proportional divider in front of you at arm's length while looking at something you're drawing from life. You'll get relatively accurate proportions as long as the length of your arm is consistent and doesn't change much as you draw. See More

(sold separately) * 9 different proportions for many canvas sizes (*see chart) * Now with new pocket size grids! Comes in clear for details, or red for simplifying color values * New 6-in-1 grid gives six proportions in one easy to transport grid! * Put away your calculator and pick up your brush!Even half a millennium ago artists knew that in order to realistically depict three dimensional objects in two dimensional artwork, a correct grasp of proportion and perspective was indispensible. Great masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer used the grid method to do this; often rigging up complicated equipment and devices designed to superimpose a grid over their subject matter. Now you can bring this art theory to your own creation process with the modern equivalent of those ancient tools: Proportional Compose It Grids! These transparent acrylic grids are available in 9 different proportions which are translatable to nearly any canvas size. Simply choose your grid proportion in relation to your canvas, hold the grid up to your subject, and sketch directly on the grid with a dry erase marker (sold separately) to rough in your composition. It is then a simple matter to transfer the grid and the image directly onto your canvas with charcoal or chalk; all the while keeping the correct proportions of the original subject. Don't waste your valuable artwork time by guessing on proportions and perspective: let Compose It Grids be your guide and do the math for you!

Divide the smaller number of your canvas size by the larger to get the percentage; then choose the closest percentage listed above to get the best proportional match. For example, a 14x18" canvas would have a percentage of around 0.78 (=14 divided by 18), and would best match with the 5.5:7 grid which has a 0.79 percentage. See More
